October 28, 2015-Wednesday- Our summer/fall travel season is basically over.....we are only here in Gaffney, South Carolina to have some preventive work done on the RV at Freightliner. There's no more sightseeing, just travel miles! Yesterday when we arrived at Freightliner, it was raining & it steady rained all day long, pouring at times! Today is suppose to be a little better, rain off & on but yesterday it was 47 degrees, today is suppose to be almost 70 degrees!!! We have the opportunity to go on a tour of Freightliner or just sit in the office waiting room ALL DAY LONG!?! Guess where we're going??? It's cool enough Otis can wait for us in the car! First we have to take EVERYTHING that we keep under the bed, out, as they will be flushing our radiator.There's a lot of stuff stored under the bed!
Look......it's 4:37pm & the SUN is finally trying to come out today!!!
But.....it was still a bit drizzly out!
Hooked up.....
I think these guys knew what they were doing
But Lennie had to make sure!
We put most of the stuff from under the bed in the shower!
Once our service tech showed up, he & Lennie went over what Len wanted done, then we go over to the office to wait..............
Time to take Otis out....we're leaving for the Freightliner Plant Tour!
OTIS!!!!! Where's your manners!?!
This is a spiderweb in a bush outside the office, that has been collecting rain droplets!
Here we are at the Freightliner plant!
& here we go!
This couple is also staying at the Freightliner campground! They're also going on this morning's tour! In fact, it's just them & us going on the tour!!
This was the Security that told me I couldn't take any pictures in the plant!
At the Freightliner Plant, they don't make ANYTHING! But they do assemble motors & chassis for UPS trucks, FedEx trucks, Thomas School buses & Fleetwood motor homes.Talk about an assembly line!!!! Men & women both working together on their lines getting the finished product out, to the final stage....test drive! I really didn't see anything going on in there that I couldn't have taken a picture of???? They didn't know I just came from a tour of the Senate building & I took pictures of everything!!! During the tour, the Freightliner service department called Lennie. Of course there was no way he could hear on his phone while inside the plant, we were anxious to see what was going on with our RV! When the tour was over, we drove back to the Service Department, which proved easier than trying to call them, your know, Press 1, Press 2 etc, etc.....! Our RV is almost done & it's not going to cost as much as Lennie thought! $$$$$ That's always a good thing!
Our RV is done, our time is up here, tomorrow we leave!
October 29, 2015-Thursday- After a rainy couple of days we are ready to leave. Freightliner did a good job for us, & it wasn't their fault the weather was sooooo bad!?! Our destination today is Brunswick, Georgia. We leave just as the sun is rising!
Hooked up.....
You ready Otis.....you still look sleepy!?!
He's ready!!!
Gaffney, S. Carolina has the coolest water tower.....a peach!
The day we were in the car when I could have had Len pull over for me to get a good shot....it was raining too hard! This is the best I could do from the RV as we drove by it. I don't know why Lennie wouldn't pull the RV over & let me get a good photo shot!?!
Hey look....it's NOT raining!!!
I-95 South
Georgia bound!
We're starting to see a lot of motor homes going south!
Hello Georgia!
I wonder if all this traffic is Florida bound?
We stopped at a rest area for lunch. the rest area was under construction. There were so many motor homes in the parking lot it looked like a campground!
We reached Brunswick Georgia . Before we went to the RV Park we stopped first for diesel, then went across the street to get an oil change.
Never heard of Speedco before, I think it's like Jiffy Lube only for big rigs???
But Lennie had to make sure!
Just hanging back, I'll be right here if you need any help....!?!
Otis enjoyed checking out the smells while we waited for the oil change!
Our spot for the night.....tomorrow we're home!
You'll be home on Halloween??? Trick or Treat!!!!! I guess I'm glad you're home for your sake, but sorry for my sake!!! You don't blog when you're home!!! I will miss reading all about your adventures.
